The Crime at Black Dudley

First published 1929

Cover Synopsis

When George Abbershaw is invited to Black Dudley Manor for the weekend, he has only one thing on his mind - proposing to Meggie Oliphant.

Unfortunately for George, things don't quite go according to plan. A harmless game turns decidedly deadly and suspicions of murder take precedence over matrimony. Trapped in a remote country house with a murderer, George can see no way out. But Albert Campion can.

The Crime at Black Dudleyis Campion on peak form, his razor wit well masked by his innocent appearance, and his aptitudefor solving the most fiendish crimes undimmed.
